A Magical and Elegant Wedding | Candace & Xander

April 21, 2018 May 5, 2018 From the Hip Photo3277 views

We first met Candace & Xander when they got engaged. Their engagement photo session was nothing short of a fairytale. We spent a sunny afternoon with them at Chautauqua Park, and the couple was simply stunning. Candace’s elegant lace dress only added to her natural beauty. Xander complimented her perfectly in a blue button up and black pants. And the shots of Xander carrying his bride to be into the sunset, backed by the majestic mountains, are simply breathtaking. As evening approached, they popped a bottle of champagne to celebrate! The loving couple smiled the whole evening, and to be honest we couldn’t keep a smile off of our face either!

All Smiles

After spending such a beautiful day with Candace & Xander for their engagement, of course, we were all smiles when we got an invite to their wedding! There’s nothing that we love more than watching a perfect couple declare their love for one another.

Candace & Xander’s elegant wedding took place in July at the Crooked Willow Farms, in Larkspur, Colorado. It was the perfect setting for this couples elegant wedding. Candace looked stunning in her beaded gown and crystal hairpiece. Xander wore a dark blue suit and a cream bow tie. The couple truly looked like royalty. With lush, rolling, green grasses, a beautiful red barn, and a courtyard filled with flowers in full bloom, walking into their wedding was like stepping into a fairytale. Despite the light rain showers, the couple couldn’t have had a more picturesque wedding. Surrounded by friends, family, and their adorable dog, Candace & Xander said ‘yes’ to forever.

During their engagement session, their Australian Shepherd, Annie, was a perfect model. Annie was all smiles as the couple shared loving looks as they walked through the park. It was no different on their wedding day, Annie was clearly excited to start her forever with her perfect parents!

We couldn’t be happier for them on starting their happily ever after! Congratulations Candace & Xander!
